EK 1870 1870 EK2 A or B Cored?

[DavidM]

Hello

Could anyone tell me whether my 1870 EK2 has an 'A' core or a 'B' core, and is it possible to say when (approximately) this one was manufactured.

Many thanks.

Hello

Sorry, my fault there Georg. The term comes from an article on the 1870 EKs, which can be found here in it's original format:
